  • I do not know who Charles Mudede is or what his platform is. His style is more popular and very different from mine. Examples:
    • On Seattle's minimum wage, in which he brings up an imperfectionist thesis related to the Cambridge Capital Controversy.
    • On Cornel West vs. Ta-Nehisi Coates. I think the idea that identity politics associated with post modernism accommodates neoliberalism is not new (see references below). I don't want to box Coates in, but the way he writes about the Black body in Between the World and Me is definitely a post modern trope. But he writes about it, I guess, because it make sense of his lived experience.
  • I stumble upon a tweet by Duncan Weldon, in which he says he resolves every year to try and understand the Cambridge Capital Controversy.
